  Function in Host
RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in thebiogenesis of circular RNAs (circRNAs) which are produced by back-splicing circularization of pre-mRNAs. Within the nucleus, promotescircRNAs processing by stabilizing the regulatory elements residing inthe flanking introns of the circularized exons. Plays thereby a role inthe back-splicing of a subset of circRNAs. As aconsequence, participates in a wide range of transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes. Binds to poly-U elements and AU-richelements (AREs) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNAs. Uponviral infection, ILF3 accumulates in the cytoplasm and participates inthe innate antiviral response. Mechanistically, ILF3 becomes phosphorylated and activated by thedouble-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase/PKR which releases ILF3from cellular mature circRNAs. In turn, unbound ILF3 molecules are ableto interact with and thus inhibit viral mRNAs. [1-5]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Pro-viral [6]
Infected TissueLung Infection Time24 h
Infected CellA549 Cells (Adenocarcinomic Human alveolar basal epithelial cells) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_H249 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein ILF3 in viral infection, ILF3 protein knockout A549 Cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 24 h , and the effects on infection was detected through qRT-PCR.
ResultsIt is reported that Knockdown of ILF3 leads to the decreased the 50% percent of infected cells compared with control group.
